Peraton is seeking a Hardware Implementation Field Service Engineer in Las Cruces, New Mexico at the National Aeronautics (NASA) White Sands Complex (WSC) to support the Space Network operations. The selected individual will support NASA programs that integrate with state-of-the-art RF satellite communications systems and technologies. Assignments will include a variety of field engineering tasks such as installing and populating racks with equipment and building and installing cable assemblies. Peraton is the prime contractor for NASA at the White Sands Complex (WSC) near Las Cruces, New Mexico. Operating here are two functionally identical satellite ground terminals: The White Sands Ground Terminal, and the Second TDRSS Ground Terminal. These ground terminals ensure uninterrupted communications between various ground stations, NASA’s orbiting fleet of Tracking and Data Relay Satellites (TDRS), customer spacecraft (satellites), and the computer systems that support such spacecraft. WSC serves as an interface for distributing satellite data to control centers and scientists who then use the daily influx of data to expand our ever-growing knowledge of the Earth and the universe. While this position will accomplish most tasks Monday to Friday, normal day hours at the worksite, no remote/ telework, some activities may be scheduled outside of normal hours. In this role, we are looking for an individual who will perform the following duties: • Perform hardware installation and test • Integrate a variety of equipment into new and existing racks, according to design documentation • Fabricate cable assemblies (network, low and high-power coax, Fiber optic, and specialty cable) in accordance with design documentation and applicable industry and NASA standards • Route and neatly dress internal rack cables (fiber and copper) using cable management according to workmanship standards • Route and neatly dress system cables (fiber and copper) in under floor and overhead cable trays and in antenna systems • Install waveguide components per manufacturer’s instructions • Print and apply cable labels • Familiar with test and diagnostic equipment. • Test cable assemblies and archive test results • Read and interpret engineering drawings and work orders • Identify available power outlets as well as correct power cordage • Must have a disciplined approach to managing task assignments, solid interpersonal skills, good judgement and flexibility • Be a team player, work with peers and other installation team members, and follow group lead directions • Ability to work autonomously and responsibly in a mission-critical, real-time operations environment #HIRE4SENSE Peraton is seeking a Hardware Implementation Field Service Engineer in Las Cruces, New Mexico at the National Aeronautics (NASA) White Sands Complex (WSC) to support the Space Network operations.
